Right now the deals on these are unbeatable. For the price you need to pay to get into one of these there is nothing out there that can touch it. It has an average-above-average rating as a mid-size SUV at a small car price.

Review
This is truly a family vehicle. We have the DVD system and seating for 7 which has been used repeatedly. The automatic 4wd is great. We were running through 15 inches of snow this winter with no problem. We get 18+ mpg and drive the vehicle very hard.

Review
This was purchased for my significant other, who uses it for her work. She picked out the truck, which is a well equipped Eddie Bauer, with V8. There are two chief complaints, the ride is "bouncy" which she likes, but I don't feel like I have as good of control of the vehicle as I do on other SUVs. The other major complaint is the motor sounds like a sewing machine or a threshing machine and is quite loud from under the hood. Other, less important concerns are, the rear seat controls are very stiff (possibly because it is new) and difficult for a diminutive woman to use. Dash and radio controls are confusing.

This SUV is worth a serious look. Roomy, comfy, plenty of power. Well laid out interior. MPG is less than I would like, but great pricing buys a lot of gasoline.

I bought this vehicle for my wife and she loves it. The new chrome wheels, step bars and roof rack really set it a part from the others. Gets lots of looks, and has the upgraded stereo that sounds great. Best sounding radio I have ever heard in a factory Ford. Had my doubts about the V-6 but it has plenty of power, although if I was going to do much pulling I would go with the V-8, but only 20 or so horse power difference. All the power the wife need to carry the baby and groceries.

I recently looked over several SUV'S by different auto manufacturers. Was looking for a roomy, safe, comfortable, reliable, and smooth-riding model. Came to find out that, dollar for dollar, there is nothing better offered for sale, foreign or domestic. Not talking about exotic, show-offy gas burning models designed to impress people with money to throw away. Drove it to Florida and back from the northeast and had the most comfortable and satisfying ride, and I've made the trip several times. Plenty of cargo room and great mileage on the highway. A solid choice - you can't go wrong.

The Ford Explorer I've had for 1 year and it's by far the most responsive vehicle I've owned. It is also incredibly reliable and safe. The perfect size with all details thought out with great appointment. It is a dream to drive and I'd recommend it to anyone, easy to drive, fun, safe, responsive and just overall FABULOUS!

The re-designed For Explorer is now a few years old, but it's still one of the best looking SUVs on the road. The fuel economy stinks, but it handles well in rough weather, is roomy enough to seat 7 (though your cargo space suffers), and the sound system is great.

This was a good buy with all the rebates. The interior was nice and you can easily put 5 people in it. Used to have an Explorer and traded it in for a Jeep Liberty. The Liberty is very safe and gave it to my teenager. The Explorer is smaller than the Expedition but much more roomier then the Liberty and it better gas mileage.
